Slices of Summer - Kuma 65, Bacoli (Na)

Summer.  The perfect time to relax and do whatever you want to do.  Last week, my whatever I want to do included going out for a pizza.  My whatever I want to do included trying Kuma 65 in nearby Bacoli for the first time.  I called to reserve a table for 8 pm.

I sat down at a table just on the edge of Lake Fusaro with a glass of spumante and a gentle breeze to keep me company.  Kuma 65 is a restaurant/pizzeria with a wide array of menu items which seemed to be calling my name.  Maybe next time, I answered back -  this evening I want  a pizza.  So when Luigi, my serve,r came over to take my order, that was exactly what I told him.

But first, let's start with an appetizer -  Kuma 65's cheesecake di tonno rosso/red tuna cheesecake.

Red tuna tartare with stracciatella buffalo mozzarella and toasted croutons.

Then my pizza Kuma 65's Cetara, which, to me, is a southern Italian summer season disguised as a pizza.

Let's begin with the name - Cetara, a small fisherman's village located on the Amalfi Coast famous for their anchovies. They shared the plate with fresh zucchini flowers, sheep milk ricotta cheese and fresh basil.  Summer.

What is summer without a glass of wine?  Fiano di Avellino Guido Marsella 2018.

So the next time I want to do whatever I want to do, I'll seriously consider heading back to Kuma 65.  I mean, there are still those menu items who were calling my name.
